Tacz: Hide Back Gun
by EarthX_X
Tacz: Hide Back Gun is a Forge addon for the TaCZ firearms mod that stops holstered weapons from being drawn on the player's back.
What it does
The addon disables rendering of TaCZ firearms worn on the player's back. Weapons stay fully usable: they can be drawn, fired and reloaded as normal, and they only become visible when the trigger is pulled. It needs [TaCZ] Timeless and Classics Zero to run, and it works with the firearm types that mod provides, including pistols, rifles, shotguns and explosives.
The addon is meant for roleplay servers, cinematic recordings and players who prefer a cleaner view of the character. It needs no configuration and no toggling, since installing it is the whole setup, and its code is described as lightweight. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest, released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Holstered weapons hidden
TaCZ firearms carried on the back are not drawn, so bulky rifles no longer clip through the backpack.
Weapons stay functional
Hidden guns can still be drawn, fired and reloaded, and they show up only while the trigger is held.
No configuration
The addon works straight after installation, with no options to set and no toggle to remember.
Lightweight code
The rendering change is small, so it adds little work on top of the firearms mod it extends.
